Rajya Sabha Polls  

Nabam Rebia, who represented the state in the Rajya Sabha for two consecutive terms from 1996 to 2002 and again from 2002 to 2008 as a Congress member, had also served the state as an Assembly speaker and a Cabinet minister.
 

The three names sent are educationist Prabhakar Kore, whose Rajya Sabha term is going to end soon, Ramesh Katti (both from Belagavi), and hospitality industry magnate K Prakash Shetty.

According to a statement from Stalin, party trade union leader M Shanmugam and senior advocate P Wilson are the nominees for the biennial election, slated on July 18.

Supreme court says NOTA will not be allowed in Rajya Sabha polls from now on. Congress and BJP have been protesting against this practice in unison with a strong stance to keep their flock together.
